⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a wonderful anniversary stay at the Pilot House B&B. The location was perfect, right on the edge of town, but close to shops and restaurants. The lake views were breathtaking from the Crows Nest room and from the main living area, where we found ourselves enjoying quiet nights playing cribbage. Jack was available on the cell phone and quick to respond when needs arose. Much more to see and do!

Reservations were quick and easy to make and we heard back right away. Jack was a hoot...such a story teller. Place is very nice and we had front row seats to the town's fireworks right off the deck. Would like to stay there once when there are not COVID guidelines still needed. I recommend!!

It was our first time in the Apostle Islands and this house helped make our stay perfect! It had everything we needed and was steps away from shops, bars, restaurants, and the water! We sat out on the back porch many times to relax and enjoy the peaceful neighborhood. We were also lucky enough to meet the owners who made sure we were enjoying ourselves and had everything we needed. Lovely place to stay!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect size for us and the yard/beach/fire pit/shoreline deck were fabulous. We went out and about during the day, would get back, grill up some supper and eat it on the shoreline deck. After supper, we’d build a fire in the pit and enjoy it all evening. We got to watch a storm to our north with beautiful lightening display. A very enjoyable stay.

Perfect decor accompanies the the whole "lakeside" aesthetic of the property. Nice large lot with mix of tall trees for shade as well as open space. The large, four-season porch facing Lake Superior is stunning. Great deck space for grilling. We WILL be back!

This was an excellent choice for a Bayfield stay! The views were awesome from the Crow’s Nest and deck. The property was very clean. We were walking distance to everything! The Apostle Islands cruise and day trip to Madeline Island on the ferry were worth it! We loved eating at the Copper Trout. Overall an excellent experience.

Great location. Our room was at the top of the house and felt very private and secluded. We could see the the lake from every window and lake breezes at night were cooling. Jack was most helpful with great suggestions on places to eat and things to do. Plan to return.

Many thanks to Jon Armstrong, his family and Apostle Island Rentals for allowing us to stay at Washington Condo #203 during Mother's Day weekend. We had a wonderful time.

where the water meets the soul

Bayfield Wisconsin is the gateway to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Covered in forests, bordered by sandstone cliffs, rocky shores and sandy beaches, enveloped by the crystal clear blue waters of Lake Superior, and boasting the nations’s largest number of light houses, the 22 islands have been named the most pristine National Park in North America by National Geographic Magazine.

The Bayfield area is known for its sailing, kayaking, fishing and hiking in summer, and for ice-fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and downhill and cross-country skiing in winter.

Anchored on a peninsula covered in forests, streams and waterfalls, Bayfield is a magnet for nature lovers of all persuasions. And perched on a hillside overlooking the islands and the lake, the town is known for its quaint beauty, as well as for its shops and restaurants.
